mum defogging. The recirculation but-
ton can be selected in this mode to
block outside odors. However, for maxi-
mum defogging in this mode, it is rec-
ommended to turn recirculation off
when possible.

Operating tips
∙ Keep the windows closed while the airconditioner is in operation.
∙ Af ter parking in the sun, drive for 2 or 3 minutes with the windows open to
vent hot air from the passenger com-
partment. Then, close the windows.
This allows the air conditioner to cool
the interior more quickly.
∙ The air conditioning system should
be operated for approximately
10 minutes at least once a month.
This helps prevent damage to the
system due to lack of lubrication.
∙ A visible mist may be seen coming from the ventilators in hot, humid conditions
as the air is cooled rapidly. This does not
indicate a malfunction. ∙
If the engine coolant temperature
gauge indicates engine coolant tem-
perature over the normal range, turn
the air conditioner off. For additional
information, refer to “If your vehicle
overheats” in the “In case of emer-
gency ” section of this manual.AIR FLOW CHARTS

OPERATING TIPS
The sunload sensor (if so equipped)1, lo-
cated on the top center of the instrument
panel, helps the system maintain a con-
stant temperature. Do not put anything on
or around this sensor. ∙ When the climate system is in auto-
matic operation and the engine coolant
temperature and outside air tempera-
ture are low, the air flow outlet may de-
fault to defroster mode for a maximum
of 2 minutes 30 seconds. This is not a
malfunction. Af ter the engine coolant
temperature warms up, the air flow out-
let will return to foot mode and opera-
tion will continue normally.
∙ When the outside and interior cabin temperatures are moderate to high, the
intake setting may default to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. You may no-
tice air flow from the foot mode, bi-level
mode, or side demist vent outlets for a
maximum of 15 seconds. This may oc-
cur when previous climate setting was
system off. This is not a malfunction.
Af ter the initial warm air is expelled, the
intake will return to automatic control,
air flow outlet will return to previous set-
tings, and operation will continue nor-
mally. To exit, press any climate control
button.
∙ Keep the windows closed while the air conditioner is in operation.

∙ If you feel that the air flow mode youhave selected and the outlets the air is
coming out do not match, select
the
mode.
∙ When you change the air flow mode, you may feel air flow from the feet vents
for just a moment. This is not a mal-
function. The air conditioner system in your NISSAN
vehicle is charged with a refrigerant de-
signed with the environment in mind.
This refrigerant does not harm the
earth’s ozone layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant
is required when servicing your NISSAN air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or
lubricants will cause severe damage to
your air conditioner system. For additional
information, refer to “Air conditioner sys-
tem refrigerant and oil recommendations”
in the “Technical and consumer informa-
tion” section of this manual.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer to service your “environmentally
friendly” air conditioner system.
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains re-
frigerant under high pressure. To avoid
personal injury, any air conditioner ser-
vice should be done only by an experi-
enced technician with proper
equipment.
RADIO
With the ignition is placed in the ACC or ON
position, press the
or POWER button
to turn the radio on. If you listen to the radio
with the engine not running, the ignition
should be placed in the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station sig-
nal strength, distance from radio transmit-
ter, buildings, bridges, mountains and other
external influences. Intermittent changes
in reception quality normally are caused by
these external influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the ve-
hicle may influence radio reception quality.
Radio reception
Your NISSAN radio system is equipped with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits to en-
hance radio reception. These circuits are
designed to extend reception range, and to
enhance the quality of that reception.
However, there are some general charac-
teristics of both FM and AM radio signals
that can affect radio reception quality in a
moving vehicle, even when the finest
equipment is used. These characteristics
are completely normal in a given reception
area and do not indicate any malfunction
in your NISSAN radio system.
